Hydrogel-based thermoelectrochemical cells for waste heat recovery under passive cooling conditions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: . Furthermore, HyTECs exhibit robust performance across orientations (0°-150°) around hot pipes, with a 135° inclination delivering peak power due to enhanced convection and thermal gradients. This work establishes HyTECs as a viable platform for efficient waste heat recovery, providing a foundation for their deployment in real-world energy applications.
